Found: new home

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Shannon

Hey y’all (I try, but I really can’t pull off y’all). As I mentioned, I’ve been looking for a new home for Doahleigh, and I think I’ve found one. I decided to give Squarespace a try – I don’t know … Continue reading →

She’s having a baby

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Shannon

Today my baby sister is having her first baby. Things aren’t going according to the plan in her head, but rather according to what is safest for her and her baby. A breech baby and a mother with low blood platelet levels … Continue reading →

Versatile

Posted on July 5, 2010 by Shannon

I really wish I could pull off a dress like this, but it actually looked quite ridiculous. For one, the spaces between the buttons gapped at my thighs. Ugh. But I bought it anyway and plan to wear it as … Continue reading →

Rehearsal… or whatever

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Shannon

I took the Friday before the wedding off, but Mike had to work in the morning. While he did that, I went grocery shopping with Des, my stepmom. We bought WAY too much food, as Mike has already detailed. By … Continue reading →

Directionally challenged, as they say

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Shannon

For Christmas, the Giraffe got me a GPS. With my new job, I drive around the state quite a bit, and since I usually have no idea where I’m going and I have no intuition for this stuff, the GPS … Continue reading →

Wanna swing?

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Shannon

I was fascinated by the high-flying acrobats at the circus as a kid. We didn’t go often, but when we did get to see the circus, my favorite act was the trapeze. Watching them, I could feel myself soaring and flipping … Continue reading →

Pump up the jams

Posted on March 11, 2010 by Shannon

Calling all runners. Or anyone who works out. Or anyone who uses an iPod. Or more aptly, anyone who works out while listening to an iPod. I need your help. How the hell do you keep the earbuds in your … Continue reading →

The Olympic Games

Posted on February 21, 2010 by Shannon

I’ve been watching the Olympics all week. Whenever I’m home, it’s on, even if I’m only half-paying attention. I don’t know what it is, but I always love the Olympics. I’m not into athletics at all, and I generally hate … Continue reading →

Another layer to the saga

Posted on February 18, 2010 by Shannon

After the whole doctor/pharmacy/prescription saga I detailed yesterday, the plan was for me to pick up my prescriptions, or at least one of them, last night and pay for it out of pocket. Because I needed it and didn’t want … Continue reading →

rADical dude

Posted on February 16, 2010 by Shannon

I took the dive. The ad dive. As in, my blog now has ads. I didn’t make the decision right now for any particular reason, other than that it just kind of happened. I had decidedly not had ads for … Continue reading →

Quatre ans

Posted on February 1, 2010 by Shannon

I missed my blogiversary! It was last week on the 24th. Four years since I moved over here from LiveJournal (Lord, remember that?). I suppose it’s appropriate that I’m seeking out a fresh look for this blog right around its … Continue reading →

Wanted: new design

Posted on January 28, 2010 by Shannon

It’s been suggested (by someone who’s pretty in tune with web trends) that I redesign my site.* Brad, the ex (ok fine, he’s the one that suggested a new look), has offered to work on the behind-the-scenes stuff, but I … Continue reading →
